EC In order to reduce expenses we
will leave off our list many who have
failed to renew.
Rev. Eli Alexander of Mooresville,
has our thanks for 1925 in subscrip-
tions. That is the way to make the
paper live.
There was slight fall of snow here
yesterday morning. Bakers prediction
held good.
A fire originated in the roof of
barroom on Trade street last Tuesday
morning about 10 o'clock, which made
things very lively around these
quarters for while. The roof of
the house was burned off.
Hon. J. H. Williamson of Louis
burg was in the city last Tuesday
on his return from Georgia He
visited our graded school while in
the city. He speaks very encour-
agingly of the Industrial fair and
will start his paper very soon.
Big Zion Sabbath School will have
its Easter exercises in the afternoon
and 60 to Biddle grove to picnic
Easter Monday.
The exercises at Biddle University
on Friday night of last week were
exceedingly fine. The debate: That
the negro should be encouraged to
migrate west" was ably discussed
on both sides. The addresses were
all good and the music enchanting.
A large crowd of ladies and gentle
men were out from the city.
Business at home prevented our
going up to Mooresville and Statesville
this week, The friends at these points
will please forward to us their sub
sc-iptions due. Rev David Brown
will collect for us in Statesville.
Despite the hard times, we learn
quite large number of colored people
visited the minstrel show last Monday
night, and as gracefully took back
gallery seats to see themselves ridi-
culed as they would have front seats
to see something sensible. We have
said before, we cannot have the
respect of others till we respect our
selves. We do not see how self-re-
specting people can be so eager to sit
in peanut-gallery.
Miss Annie Hayes is one of our
graded school teachers. Her name
was left out of the list as we failed
to get around to her room before clos
ing time.
Solicitor Geo. H. White of New
berne has taken to himself, another
wife, in the person of Miss Cora L.
Cherry of Tarboro.
Do you like this paper? Then
send us another subscriber. Our list
would be so easily doubled if each of
you would exert yourself just little.
The larger our list, the better the
paper will be at all times.
1t would be a good idea for mem
bcrs and visitors to take Bible with
them in attending the morning service
at Grace church.
On Thursday night, in Clinton
Chapel, prizes were given the persons
securing the most money for the
building fund in the grand rally
few weeks ago. A stove-pipe hat
was presented Mr. Mack Taylor and
lamp to Mrs Cynthia Emmons as the
most successful parties. Neptune
Fire Co. presented Mrs Slade a very
handsome tea set the same time.

ABOUT ANNExING IDAHO.

A good many people ihtbc western part Of
the State are beginning to think that it would
not be such good thing for them after all
to shave the southern portion Of Idaho annexed
to Nevada. Especially do the people around
the Capitol begin to feel this way. tits true,
that il idaho is annexed it will make a ma
tsrial difference in the State. Idaho has
something like 10000 inhabitants and Ne
vada has only about Co., 900. With the
former. territory attached to Nevada it would
give the eastern portion of the State the bal.
ahce of-power in representation in the Legis-
lature, and we are thinking that it would
then not take them long to remove the Cap.
itol to Winnemucca. This, Of course, would
be rough on great many people in Carson
who live there because it is the Capitol, and
because they could not make living any
where else. Further than this we do see
that il would be any great detriment to resi-
dents of this part Of the State. And ii it
did make considerable difference the good
that would result from annexing Idaho would
so much overbalance the injury done, that it
would hardly be noticed. The trouble with
Nevada is that she is liable to get into debt
unless there is more taxable property brought
in to keep the machine going, and with
Idaho she would make good State, that
could we'll support State government.
Otherwise it would be better for Nevada to
be but Territory. Let US have a part of
Idaho by all means, if we can get it, and
when this is accomplished let US urge upon
our representatives the necessity of having
that part Of California lying east Of the sum.
nit of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Then
Nevada would be State that it would not
be we'll for. Eastern people to sheer at on &C.
count Of her size, population or prosperity.

FREE ADVERTISING.

About year ago the TIMES received a
proposition from firm in ST. Louis by the
name of E. L. Blake q Co., to advertise a
medicine called the "Tamar Treatment"
We believe man by the name Of DR.. Rich
ard Ware also had something to do with the
concern. Noticing that the same ''ad" that
was in the TIMES is now being run by sever
al other Nevada papers we rise 10 remark
that e. L. Blake and DR.. Richard Ware are
bilks of the 6rst water, and other publishers
who are doing work for them had better quit
before these thieves and swindlers get any
more free advertising. The manner in which
we found out that these parties were frauds
was by their not paying their bill and also
being notified by responsible parties in St.
Louis that they were dead beats. The TIMES
is in receipt daily of letters and propositions
from all sorts of electric belt and patent
medicine proprietors, and we very seldom get
caught out. Messrs. Blake and Ware are
welcome to the $50 worth Of advertising we
have done for them, for it is worth that much
for the newspapers of Nevada to find them
out, but we desire.to say right here that the
man. whe would rob a newspaper by not pay
ing for advertising contracted for and done,
would sell his mothers body to a medical
college for dissecting purposes. Blake and
Ware are just such men without doubt.

THE brute Goldenson has been found
guilty of murder in1he FIRST degree for shoot
ing Mamie Kelly. Now the quicker he is hung
the better. 1t seems impossible that by any
means he could obtain new trial, but there
are some strange things in law. No mercy
should be shown to such acowardly and bru-
stal assassin. The sooner Goldenson is i ung
by the neck until he is dead the better it
will be for the country.

THE little town Of Winnemucca will no
doubt be the Capitol of this State in a very
few years should Idaho be annexed to Neva-
da. 1t would be the central point of the
State geographically, and a railroad from
that point north would make it railroad
center also. The town has bright prospects,
and we intend to invest about 100000 OF
$40, 900 in town lots there il the annexation
takes place.

THE FIERY FLAMES
Destructive Fire at ThOmp-
sons Mills Thurs
day Morning

About o'clock last Thursday morning
the residents OF the neighborhood Of
Thompson's Mills, about eight miles
northwest of the city, discovered to their
horror and dismav that the mill was on
fire. The property belonged to Messrs.
R. NJ. Thompson & Sons who carried on
mercantile business in connection with
a saw and grist mill and cotton gin.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
Mr.. Thompson and his sons are particu~
larly careful in and around their premi
ses, so as not to have any combustibles
lying around loose.
Abo7lt eighty bales Of cotton were at
the gin house at the time OF the fire, all
Of which is lost The loss is not con.
fined to the Messrs Thompson alone, for
we understand the bulk OF the cotton be-
longed to individual farmers in the
neignborhood on whom the loss will fall
with appalling heaviness
The only theory yet advanced for the
origin OF the fire is that OF spontaneous
combustion. In the store house of
Messrs Thompson 4 Sons, large stock
OF merchandise was stored all Of which
WAS consumed. When the fire was dis
covered it had gained too much headwav
t. be checked, ard the cruel flames
wrought the work of destruction speedi-
ly.
There was no insurance either on the
stock or building. This is one Of the
most fatal errors our people could pos-
siby fallinto-that ofleaving their prop
erty uninsured When will men Carry
ing on business learn that it is too much
risk for one man or firm to carry alone7
